Could something as simple as light be the key to unlocking better sleep, balanced hormones, and improved overall health? Daniel Ebbett's personal journey suggests exactly that.
When conventional medicine failed to solve his debilitating migraines and insomnia, Daniel discovered research suggesting that his modern light environment—filled with artificial blue light and lacking natural light exposure—was fundamentally disrupting his biology. By strategically changing his light environment, he transformed his health and founded Block Blue Light to help others do the same.
In this enlightening conversation, Daniel reveals the science behind how light affects our circadian rhythms and hormone production. He explains why melanopsin receptors in our eyes are particularly sensitive to blue wavelengths (400-500nm), and how evening exposure to these wavelengths from screens and LED lighting disrupts melatonin production, making quality sleep impossible.
You'll learn startling truths about the blue light blocking industry, including why 95% of blue light glasses on the market are ineffective, and what to look for in products that actually work. Daniel also explores the therapeutic potential of red light (630-660nm) and near-infrared light (800-900nm), explaining how these wavelengths can enhance cellular energy production, promote healing, and support overall wellbeing.
While modern health advice typically focuses on diet and exercise, this episode illuminates how managing your light environment might be the missing piece in your health puzzle. Whether you're struggling with sleep issues, energy problems, or just want to optimise your health, you'll walk away with practical, science-backed strategies to harness the power of light for better living.
